Last night was messy. Tonight can be organized.
Setup takes ten minutes. Print the QR sheet, tape it to the door, open the list on any phone or tablet. Nothing to install, nothing to train.
Last nightpaper + shouting
Host walks the room calling names three times.
Guests hover at the door asking “how much longer?”
Table sits empty while you hunt for a party that left.
Nobody knows the real wait, so everyone guesses.

Meet DineQ
One list runs the night.
Guests scan at the door, watch their spot on their own phone, and get told once when the table's ready. You see the whole room in one screen.

AI that only answers from your menu.

✓Grounded in your menu — it never invents an allergen.
✓When it doesn't know, it says so and hands the question to your host.
✓Replies wait for your approval until you decide otherwise.

Yes — your menu lists walnut pesto on the tagliatelle. The rigatoni and the branzino are nut-free.
